Book of Eli - Denzel Washington - took two attempts to watch it all the way through - a bit of a duff Mad Max type film. Watchable. 4/10

 

Green Zone - Matt Damon - enjoyed it, always like films based out in Middle East, etc. 7/10

 

Planet 51 - was enjoying it til I nodded off, kids liked it - must be good. 6/10

 

Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs - see above - 6/10

 

Good Will Hunting - Matt Damon/Robin Williams - look, there was fook all else on this Saturday just gone, never seen it before - quite enjoyed - the scene were Robin Williams was going on about his late wife farting in bed had me in tears - half decent. Oh, and Minnie Driver looked far better than I can ever remember. 7/10

 

The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo - its Swedish so no famous actors/actresses - great thriller - didn't bother me that it was in subtitles great revenge scene on the pervy Probation Officer- looking forward to the 2nd in the trilogy in the next week or so - well worth the watch and highly recommended. 9/10

 

That's me, Jonathan Woss, over and out.

Get Thursdays to myself. Made a decision that I was going to start watching more classic films that I've never seen. Flicking through netflix and nothing is taking my fancy. What do I NEED to watch? Gonna be frigging 10pm soon. 

Right you bunch of queers and steers

Rudy is going to let you into a little secret 

The 3rd best gangster film of all time has just gone on Netlfix

 Carlitos Way

Al Pacino , Guns, violence, cocaine, shagging, Penelope Ann Miller gets her tits out, great story great acting, great lines.

If I had one day left it would be getting watched.

Get it watched. 

Speaking of gangster type stuff, I watched Killerman last night.

Not bad really. 

Avenegement is good 👍

Avengement even

Gone 60’s retro

Guns of Navarone popped up on my Netflix. Not seen since I was a kid and had to watch stupidly due to the musical reference

This is a proper British film. Tally ho. What, what, what. David Niven. Pesky Germans. Stiff upper lip

They don’t make em like this anymore…..

Probably for a reason

Its ace though

I’ve not mate. Think I’ve only seen one, maybe two but I don’t remember the second one 

Watched Bond. Decent, bit too long, must be about 30 years age difference between Bond and his bird, Ana de Armas is FIT, very diverse staffing at MI5 these days, unexpected ending. 7/10.

Carlitos way. Best ending monologue ever.

Saw one of them the other week for the first time.

Dreadful.

The Mule. Had potential but soon descended into Dross. Clint Eastwood needs to call it a day.

Gangster films are not my thing particularly but Carlitos Way is one of the best I’ve seen. Pacino is superb and great twist at the end.

Anybody watched Train to Busan? If so, any good?

First one was decent, the others were awful however the new one has been getting some decent reviews

If you like zombie stuff then it's very good.

Watched Wild Things and Primal Fear for the first time this week. If you like twists (and Denise Richards tits in their prime) give them a go

Just done The Many Saints of Newark 

Quite disappointing 

It's an average gangster film that just happens to have a young Tony Soprano in it, turns out it's not about him at all

Interesting enough seeing younger versions of Junior and Paulie, though the young Silvio pretending to be old Silvio is a bit noncey 

Rewatched Enemy at the Gates (worse than I remember) Moneyball (never, ever get bored of that film) Fury (better than I remember) And Tremors (the kids loved it)

I've never seen The Sopranos or The Wire, people look at me like I'm an alien when I tell them that 🙂

I've also never seen any Godfather films

Same.

The Wire is worth a watch. Once you get with the flow of dialogue (loads of street talk which is imperceptible) it is very well filmed and twisting plot.

I just don't have the patience required, and my brain can't commit to fiction any more. Only way I can describe it is it all just seems hollow to me.

You're missing out...

There's a cracking film from about twenty years ago that you'd enjoy.

Sort of an update on 'The Invisible Man' starring Kevin Bacon in the title role.

Can't remember the name of it though.
